Very quiet home right in Newport by the beach! We were there for work so we didn’t get to enjoy the house as much as we would have liked. I do agree with some of the other reviews that is it quite strange to have a Jack and Jill bathroom as the actual hallway. Overall we enjoyed it and would definitely stay here again. ##### Jodi L.

Beds were comfortable and showers were amazing with super hot water. kitchen accommodations were great, although we brought extra napkins, trash bags, just in case. Communication was excellent, only thing we struggled a little bit with was the Internet. But overall great place clean just a little bit far from the pier, but perfect to see the waves and hear them while you drink your coffee in the mornings, I would highly recommend this place. ##### Michael M. ### 6/10 Okay #### Christy W. 12 Feb 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Just ok at best Great location. Easy check in and out. AMAZING location and communication with property managers BUT....strangest layout EVER - you have to walk through two bathrooms to get to the main part of the house. The heater was not working and we just so happened to be in Newport when we really needed one. We all slept in jackets. My husband ended up getting AA batteries for the thermostat so we had some heating the last night we were there. The shades in the front room (with sun room) are all busted up so there is NO privacy or a way to keep out the light. There is a motion detector on the side of the house and it went off all night making it hard to sleep because the shades would not close. We did not use the kitchen but got out one bowl for chips and it was filthy. The bed linens are thin and not good quality. Stains on the couches and rugs. Two bathrooms have been remodeled but the other two are pretty bad. For sure a party pad not a nice family vacation stay. Would not stay again. ##### Christy W.

I didn’t realize we only had the upstairs, but that was okay for us. I knew about the “interesting” layout from other reviews, but that also was okay.

Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelli S. 8 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Mixed Bag Beach house This beach house drew us in for our annual spring break beach house trip. On the plus side there's (1) Location - just across the street from the sand and close to Newport/Balboa shops and dining, (2) Remodeled recently + large fridge for groups, (3) 5 bedrooms + 4 bathrooms in just the upstairs rental unit, (4) Smart Tv = streaming services + wifi, (5) good-sized 2nd story balcony, (6) beach towels and some beach chairs provided. We are seasoned vacation property renters and struggled with a few things that tossed some shade on our stay including (1) Host/Vacasa response time -we were missing bedding for the pull out (noted in listing and included in "sleeps 12"). It took two full days to get it after multiple calls, SMS, and emails using numbers/emails listed. I've never had such poor response to a basic need that was an expectation, (2) Living space - It's listed as 'sleeps 12' but only 6 dining chairs for the large table and room for 6-ish to sit in living room. It's open concept but made for 'standing room only during meals until we pulled in some of the patio furniture, (3) 4th bathroom was literally the hallway connecting the front to back of house. Awkward and tight!, (4) Laundry unit was full when we arrived - washer and dryer. Also noted this in my messaging and calls. Never got addressed, so we didn't use it during our stay. Goes back to accessibility/reliability of host, (5) No grill - patio had room - definitely suggest this be added. Recommend - Yes, for a smaller group. Location was great and overall property was neat, clean, and kitchen appliances were excellent for cooking meals. It had enough of a luxury feel to be a good choice for a family, girls getaway, etc. Hopefully, as a newer property on the Vacasa/VRBO site, the local host with get better equipped to handle messages regarding the property from guests during their stay. ##### Kelli S.
